Comment 6 for bug 1645445

> @Kyle, core is intended to be able to dynamically discover things like serial ports, etc and expose them automatically as slots. Gustavo is designing this along with hotplugging AIUI.

Indeed, that's my understanding as well.

> What is described is what we have today for dealing with this, but once there is an implementation for core, then it should be possible to extend that to classic.

Fair enough, what you describe does sound like it'll solve this issue for core.
